Question

Change driving surface on sheetmetal part

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to do this? If I have a fully formed sheetmetal part and I want the driving surface to be on the opposite side from where it is now? Duckduckgo finds a question regarding exactly that in the forum, but for some reason it has been "archived" and I can't read it.

    Ahhh, didn't know that was a thing. I can read it now, thanks!

     

    Unfortunately there was no reply for my issue. If I have a fully formed part, is it possible to flip the driving surface without having to flip it in the first feature and having everything crash as a consequence?

     

    I suspect the answer is "No, not possible", but I wanted to ask if anyone has any idea.

    Hi,

    you can use command convert to solid followed by command convert to sheetmetal. Unfortunatelly this sequence will destroy feature history.
